Atheist Plays Devil's Advocate for God's Existence (w/ Alex O’Connor) | Soul Boom

What to study

Expectation Violation

  • An atheist arguing for God is a swap you do not see coming, and the title says it plainly.
  • The image adds the question, best argument for God, with both faces mid-thought.
  • When the least likely defender argues the case, the answer feels worth hearing.
How the packaging works
Title

Thumbnail

The image poses the best-argument question between two engaged faces.

Remix this

Use this when a guest argues against their own side. Name the reversal in the title, as it is the story. If you teach, make the strongest case for the view your audience expects you to attack.
